Sam, you have found a solution that is akin to splitting a pea with a
sledgehammer. Eudora is available for those poor benighted souls who don't
know anything better than PC's and Windoze, and in Eudora, as I have told
James privately, the solution to his problem is a click of a counse on one
line of the setings file. It's easy, and it works like a charm, at least on
my Macs. Since the folks at Qualcomm seem pretty competent, I assume that
they were even able to make the Windoze version of the program work the
same way. Don't waste your time trying to do with an H-bomb what needs a
firecracker.

Let's face it. People use a Mac because they want to, Windows because they
have to..
